i think family genetics is a zero-sum game. 4 doctors? i guarantee the fifth offspring works in retail or is something as equally shameful, like a musician.

Learn to actually recognize racism dearie instead of acting like a child and always saying everything is caused by it. It is not. Only in your little bigoted mind. You have no idea what you are even talking about. Find an adult and ask them.

This is rich sanctimony, coming from Gizmodo Inc. who is currently looking for the identities of the officers who removed him. I’m guessing once you figure out who they are, that’s when the doxxing will stop, right?

This is so rich, because this is literally what Gawker had/has made a living off of. Remenber Ken Bone? http://gizmodo.com/ken-bone-forgot-to-delete-his-porn-comments-1787780939/amp

What united did here is a bit more than annoying. And a bit more expensive than offering even $20k per person to voluntarily deplane. It’s also illegal. So there are those penalties to consider. It was a shit business decision and the fact that United is still stonewalling will increase their inevitable payout.

I’m a doctor I have patients is not a “card”. It’s not a joke. Let’s see you laughing the next time you’re waiting three hours for your doctor in an ER. Wish I could hear your petulant mewling!

Gawker sites have never done such a thing...

How many parking tickets and traffic violations has he had in the last 20 years? Does he have a valid drivers license? Does he keep his lawn well tended? Does he even have a lawn? These questions need to be answered.

I find it sickening that newspapers have to look and report into all details that are not relevant to the case. Now I know what he did was wrong. But did he repent, or change his behavior? Of course this will not be reported. But we need any juicy tidbit we can just to sell the stories so you can visit our…

I don’t give a single shit who he is or what he’s done. A convicted murderer could have been dragged off the plane for the same reason and I’d be just as outraged about United’s actions.

Lets make things fair. EVERY SINGLE TIME that Trumps name is mentioned on Fox News they need to remind viewers that his ex-wife Ivanka alleged that Donnie raped her while married in her divorce petition and that Donnie is his father have had countless racial discrimination cases against them. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

This is a a full WTF moment... he could be Hitler’s godson for all I care, WTF has to do anything of that with what happened on the plane? So I think FUCK YOU UNITED and FUCK THE POLICE must now be joined by a FUCK Louisville Courier-Journal...

My repeated question is why didn’t United just buy their people normal tickets like everyone else and this never would have happened. Yes, I know a lot of employees use “stand by” as a way to get cheap tickets and airlines do it to save money, but in the past few years how many major route flights have you seen that…

I think you mean, “re-accomodate” Assad.

We should write a column about Bradd Jaffy and about he is no angel either.

I wonder how much advertising United does with Gannett. I know they do a lot with Comcast/NBC.

Given that the others involved here are United - which has quite the checkered history of corruption, mistreating passengers, and dog deaths, - and the Chicago PD - with it’s history of violence and torture - the passenger is clearly not anywhere close to the worst person in this scenario.

David Dao is fascinating. he’s a father of five (four of which are doctors themselves), played poker professionally, and owned his own medical practice which he apparently used to trade drugs for same-sex sex. he is truly the embodiment of america.

Yeah, no.
Whether or not he did anything untoward in his past means absolutely dick in this situation.
The paper is trying to make it seem like since he has a past - whatever may or may not be in it - what was done to him was appropriate or justified, and it was neither of those things.
C’mon now. I’ve done dumb shit in…
